OPS-Code 5-570.0:
Operations on the bladder: Endoscopic removal of stones, foreign bodies and tamponades from bladder: Removal of a stone, transurethral, with disintegration (lithotripsy)
As part of a cystoscopy, a stone was removed from your bladder.
The bladder sits low down in the abdomen and collects the urine. The urine is produced in the two kidneys. The urine flows from the kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. When you pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out.
The cystoscopy involved a thin tube or scope being inserted through your urethra into your bladder. The stone was first crushed. Then, the stone was removed via the tube or scope.
